Lewis Kimball Lloyd, age 79, loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, physician, and friend, passed away peacefully at home with his wife by his side on Friday, October 3, 2025, following a quiet and courageous 18-month battle with brain cancer. Kimball’s kindness, unconditional love and eternal optimism blessed the lives of all who knew him.
Kimball was born to loving parents, Lewis Haslam and Lois Clark Kimball Lloyd, in Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 22, 1946. He enjoyed an idyllic childhood with two older sisters, Suzanne and Kathryn, and two younger siblings, Janet and Dan. He grew up on the lower avenues and later the Yalecrest area of Salt Lake, graduating from East High School in 1964.
Kimball married his high school sweetheart, Elaine Randall, on Dec 15th, 1967 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed with 7 children, Brigham (deceased at birth), Rich, Lisa, Emma, Randall, Ali, and Nate, and 23 grandchildren. Even with a busy career and life of devoted church service, family always came first for Kimball. Each child and grandchild was convinced of being Kimball’s favorite! Kimball’s creative mind was constantly inventing new games and activities to entertain the family whether in the backyard, on family road trips, or at the beach. Favorite family trip destinations included the Randall cabin in the Uintas, the St.George condo, and Newport Beach.
Kimball loved sports and was an avid Utah Utes fan who loved watching and attending games with his family. Many family vacations revolved around cheering on the Utes in destinations from Hawaii to Texas, Notre Dame to the Rose Bowl. Kimball was also a life-long New York Yankees fan dating back to his childhood days rooting for Mickey Mantle and spent his final evening watching his Yankees beat the Red Sox while enjoying a bowl of ice cream.
Serving as a young missionary in Western Canada from 1965-1967 began a life-time of devoted service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Kimball loved serving others! He had a deep love for and trust in the Savior and willingly served wherever he was called. He exercised faith with an unwavering testimony of Jesus Christ as he served in many callings including bishop, high councilor, gospel doctrine teacher, young men's president, stake athletic director, ward mission leader and faithful home teacher. He was blessed to serve a second mission, this time with Elaine, in the Georgia Atlanta Mission as an area medical adviser in the southeastern United States. He and Elaine loved serving in Georgia for 18 months from 2017-2019. They fell in love with gracious southern hospitality and made wonderful friends.
Kimball graduated from the University of Utah Medical School in 1975, then completed an internship in California and residency at the University of Utah. As an obstetrician, Kimball considered it a privilege to participate in the miracle of birth. Throughout his 37-year career, he never failed to recognize the joy and sacredness of each delivery. Patients valued Dr. Lloyd’s shared excitement with each pregnancy and they often expressed gratitude for his calm, reassuring presence in the delivery room. Kimball worked tirelessly until his retirement at age 70, bringing over 8,000 babies into the world. In addition to his formal practice, he was always “on call” for friends, neighbors or family who needed medical assistance or counsel, and did so willingly and graciously.
Kimball is survived by his wife, Elaine Randall; five children, Lisa (John Paul) Giles, Emily (Blair) Allen, Randall (Aubrey) Lloyd, Alison (Peter) Theurer, Nathan (Danielle) Lloyd; daughter-in-law, Marianne Lloyd Burnett; siblings, Suzanne (Doug) Harwood, Kathryn Stewart, Janet Lloyd, and Daniel (Jessica) Lloyd. He is preceded in death by two sons (Brigham and Richard) and his parents.
Our family wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to all the earthly angels who have helped support and care for Kimball over the past 18 months. If desired, in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Richard Kimball Lloyd Memorial Scholarship for students at the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business.
Funeral services for Kimball will be held on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Olympus Stake Center (2700 East 4500 South). Family and friends are invited to visit at the church prior to services from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. or Wednesday evening, October 8th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Larkin Sunset Lawn (2350 East 1300 South). Interment: Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
I'm so sorry to hear of Dr. Lloyd's passing. He was my favorite doctor. He helped me with infertility and was there for all four of my children's births. He was a wonderful doctor. My prayers are with his family.
Kimball saved lives and loved people personally. Though his reunion in heaven will be joyful, his absence here is felt deeply.
We pray for you.
We love all the wonderful Lloyd’s. What an honor it was to have Kimball deliver some of our children. We love and admire Kimball and Elaine. What an incredible legacy he is leaving behind. Thank you for loving our children and supporting our family in so many ways. XOXO
So very sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful physician ! He cared for us for our 4 boys. His first question to us on our first child near delivery was "how close to the hospital are you". He never had to work very hard for us, but we enjoyed his friendship and care every time he was with us. May you find joy in remembering the fun times and find solace in Jesus.
Dear Kimball is one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. He has always been an example of kindness, faithfulness, and friendship to me. As a doctor, he was tops! He helped me as an older patient, but more importantly, delivered several of my grand-children. Our whole family loves him and his family. We will miss him very much. We love you, dear Lloyd Family and send our sincere prayers and condolences to all.
We met Kimball as he was often visiting Emma, Blair and the grandkids. We have always been impressed with his kindness, down-to-earth nature and warmth. We loved chatting with him in St. George, at one of the grandkids games or out on the Allen's front driveway. What an incredible father, grandfather and person. Sending the whole family lots of love and prayers for comfort and peace! Adam & Lori Hunt
Dear Elaine and all the Lloyd family!
My heart is with you at this tender and emotional time. I want to add my praises to Dr. Kimball Lloyd as a neighbor, friend, my bishop, my doctor and the one who delivered all three of my beautiful children by C-Section. He was always so supportive of me and made me feel like I was his favorite patient! He was always so kind to my parents as they aged. They lived in the ward with your family from the time you all moved in until they could no longer function at home on their own. But even after my parents moved in with me, Kimball and Elaine continued to be interested and loving friends. As I was growing up I was privileged to babysit Richard and Lesa a little and admired and looked up to your family so much. Then as I got married "Bishop Lloyd" interview Jim and I for our recommends and when we started our own family it seemed perfect to ask Kimball to be my OBGYN. One memory I would like to share was when we had our first baby. In labor, I was struggling to deliver our little one and lost a lot of blood, my frightened husband sought to give me a blessing before the emergency c-section and he was so comforted that Kimball not only was an amazing and trusted surgeon, he was also a worthy, faithful and inspired priesthood holder who could assist in this ordinance. Kimball performed a successful C-Section and though it had been a rough night we were soon the proud parents of a health 9 pound 1 ounce baby girl. The next morning bright and early we were totally exhausted and certainly looked it when Kimball came in to check on us. With his "big picture" perspective and genuine sense of humor, he seriously looked as us as new parents and said... "Well, are you going to keep her?" Surprised, we said... "Of course we are going to keep her!" Then with his engaging grin and twinkle in his eye, he said "Good! Because the operation to put her back is even worse!" How we love this wonderful man and his ability to make you smile and feel good just being in the same room. Our deepest condolences at his early return to Father In Heaven, but how grateful we are that this isn't the end, only a short separation. God bless you all, Lisa
I loved Dr. Lloyd! As his patient years ago, he was always attentive, kind and respectful to me during my pregnancy and gynecological visits. He delivered only one of my children (his awesome team members delivered the other two), but his skills, conduct and presence in the delivery room was extraordinary, and much appreciated by my husband and me.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

I knew him as Dr. Lloyd. I worked with him in Labor and Delivery at Cottonwood Hospital. He was a very good doctor and an exceptionally kind man. He was respected and liked by everyone in L& D and will be greatly missed.
My husband David knew Kimball at East High, and was a friend of his there.
We would both like to offer our condolences to the family at this time. We are so sorry for your loss.
Dear Elaine and family, we learned of the passing of your beloved husband just recently. We extend to you and family our deep sympathy and condolences. We have traveled down similar paths in medical school, residency and private medical practice. All of our contacts with Kimball have been kind and courteous and uplifting. We admire him and his family and the wonderful qualities of the spirit that he has. May God be with you at this tender time and bless you with peace and joy. Sent with love by Dennis and Nancy Hughes.
I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Lloyd's passing. He delivered my first two children. He will forever hold a special place in my heart! Our first daughter was stillborn, and I will never forget the words he spoke to my husband and I, and the comfort it brought to us! He spoke about the Plan of Salvation and shared how he had lost a child as well. While waiting for family to come to the hospital we didn't feel alone because he was there comforting us. He was there for us when we desperately needed someone and he turned us to our Savior, and for that I will forever be grateful!
